Domestic Abuse Therapists in Chicago, IL
“Exhaustion, it seems, is a praxis; it is a theory and practice for protest and activism. Physical and psychological exhaustion is knowledge— because if you’re tired of the way things are that means you understand things can be different. Through a haze of exhaustion, you glimpse another world”.
(—Akwugo Emejulo).
Deciding things can be different and taking steps toward opening the road of change takes courage. I intend to create a space where you can start to see the way, make a way, and increase capacity to continue traveling on the road towards new ways(of being, living, existing).

My approach to therapy is interactive, collaborative, and reflective. Individuals often seek counseling when they have reached an impasse in life. Problems of depression, anxiety, or negative behaviors frequently reflect a loss of purpose or meaning. Stress and insecurity may affect how one handles day-to-day interpersonal and work situations. I work with individuals to explore their current life issues in the context of their past experiences and help them to develop new ways of being or interacting in relationships.

When we are able to truly understand ourselves and our relationships, we can build a life of genuine meaning and connection. Many people enter into therapy only to find themselves gaining small amounts of insight that produce little or no changes in their life. My therapeutic methods produce results that not only change the way we feel about ourselves in the world but change our behaviors. I am respectful of the fact that everyone's pace and tolerance to different interventions varies. My work is reflective of the care and respect I have for each and every client as individuals.

I have a deep gratitude for all the patients I've known whose lives have been transformed. That's what makes it all worthwhile. My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative. We work together and as soon as I have a realization that I think can help you I will share it with you so we can use it to move forward. We draw from creativity, science, spirit and all of our mutual resources to succeed. Speaking about yourself opens up new pathways in your mind. Progress and change can then happen at any age and I'm there to see that it does.

I wholeheartedly believe that it is okay not to be okay and asking for help is a sign of strength. I am committed to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health, substance use, and therapy, especially within minority communities where seeking support is not always normalized. I support individuals navigating relationship challenges, identity and self-esteem concerns, adjustment issues, life transitions, trauma, anxiety, and depression. As a clinician, my primary goal is to build a safe, trusting relationship that empowers you to grow and reach your personal goals.

I'm passionate about understanding people and helping them illuminate their strengths and recognize where they’re struggling. I work with couples and adults navigating relationships, parenting, and personal growth. As a relationally-focused therapist, I bring a body-centered approach, integrating somatic practices that support reconnection with self and others. I create a space that honors the wisdom of the body and the resilience of the human spirit. My work is trauma-informed and rooted in the belief that healing happens when we feel safe, seen, and supported.

You feel like you're losing control of your life. You're struggling with coping and getting through the day. Maybe your relationships are strained, or you're feeling unheard, unseen, or misunderstood. You're feeling lost and need a guide through the turbulence of life. You're feeling judged, unsafe, and invalidated, and the generational trauma you've been carrying has been too much for you to bear.
You don't have to be alone in this.

When every conversation turns into the same fight, or into silence, it can become difficult to remember how you got here. At Semillas Counseling, we work with couples who feel stuck: one partner may pursue while the other withdraws, resentment has replaced curiosity, trust has been damaged, or both partners are questioning whether the relationship can still work.
Our therapists don't simply referee conflict or teach better communication. We help couples slow down what happens between them, recognize the roles each partner has taken on, and understand how attempts to protect themselves can unintentionally deepen the disconnection.
